With 27 years of experience in Japanese cuisine, Executive Chef Suriyawuth is leading his team with his masterful skills and an infectious smile. Slicing, dicing, juggling, and sizzling with expert precision to create melt-in-your-mouth meals. Signature dishes Benihana has a variety of signature dishes from the a la carte, teppanyaki, and sushi menus.

Add one or two of the signature dishes to your meal and you’ll have a Japanese feast for three to four people.
Atmosphere
The dimmed lighting and cherry blossom adorned backdrop of Benihana creates a lively modern eastern ambience that transports you to Japan the moment you walk through the doors. And with the teppanyaki tables taking centre stage a theatrical element is automatically added to the mix. But it’s the chefs themselves that add the X-factor and uplift the mood; with their infectious smiles, entertaining showmanship and incredible culinary skills you can’t help but smile while at Benihana.
